Quantum Approach to the Gravitational Waves

Abstract

The study proposes a quantum approach to explain existence and main features of the gravitational waves radiated by an isolated two body orbiting system. The quantum eigenvalues of such a system are calculated with the help of the space-time quantum uncertainty, without additional hypotheses via an "ab initio" model. The approach is deliberately non-relativistic: The model does not implement any relativistic assumption and shows that the mere quantum approach is enough to get energy loss and orbit radius contraction coincident with that early inferred by Einstein. However the outcomes of the model also show features typical of the quantum systems, which are purposely discussed.

Black Body Quantum Fluctuations and Relativity

“…This means that the possible time evolution of the orbiting system described by this energy equation is due to the integer n which can take different discrete values at various times; correspondingly, the orbiting system changes energy and orbital distance from the central mass as well simply according to n. This quantum behavior already found in [12] is not surprising, since the starting point of the present reasoning was the quantum law governing the energy fluctuations. The related energy change …”
